The Ayers wedding invitation tells me that Ayers is closer to Obama than just a person who happens to live in the neighborhood

I think they are probably quite close.

There is a whole roster of Obama's former associates who I suspect, are playing a more active role in the administration than is generally known.

I think everyone on this board has known since Obama's inner imbecile came into public view that he is a figurehead, a cigar-store Indian for the Politburo that runs his Regime. Valerie Jarrett seems to be the head of it, but that isn't necessarily true. They may have Alinsky's brain in a jar somewhere, channeling instructions from Asmodeus and Belial .
